| ::Vital Stats:: | |||||||||||||
| Inseminated at the very end of the last century,
in 97, P.M.T is the healing process of heavy music junkies, lost in a
soul tearing society. Six Beings trying to keep their head out of the
water by creating their own world of pachydermic rhythms, ass-drilling
bass, fingerlicking riffs, ghostly guitars, heatseeking bits/beats, and
lubricating spit. Like some kind of fucked up virus, ever evolving and constantly metamorphosing, P.M.T is a three letters concept carrying multiple meanings, spreading the depth of a wild “Psychocore”. A real melting pot of each different character forming the combo. P.M.T is a lot more than the sum of its different parts: |
